Peick’s Pro Open teammate Hayden Mellross, achieved his goal of a top ten finish but it was heartbreak for Gavin Faith who washed out on the last lap of the 15-lap Pro Lites final, whilst in the lead.

Peick, who was pleased with the improvements made by the Carlton Dry Honda Racing team, said they would work on a few more changes ahead of next weekends event at the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.

“I had a good night,” Peick said. “I tried to stay as consistent as possible but the track really started to break up towards the main event.

“I think we have a few more changes to make before we can get up there on the number one spot on the podium.

“The championship has definitely tightened up with moss boys going down, but consistency is going to be the key,” Peick continued.

Just four points seperate Peick from second placed Jake Moss with twin Matt Moss a further four points ahead in the championship standings.

Whilst disappointed at crashing out on the final lap of the race, Faith, who had dominated the final, finished fourth and maintains second in the championship standings.

“I am so disappointed in myself,” Faith said. “I didn’t get the best start but I put the power down and moved into the lead on the opening lap.

“I had a comfortable lead but I hit that corner and the front just washed out. I got back up and finished fourth but that is cold comfort.”

Rounds 4 and 5 of the Terex Australian Supercross Championship will be run alongside the Moto GP at next weekends Tissot Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
